iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro: pre-orders are open!

Pre-orders are open!

On September 14, Apple unveiled its latest generation of iPhone. Among them, the iPhone 13 offers excellent value for money, like the iPhone 12 when it was released last year. The 13 Pro model costs more, but is much more capable in photos and video, while offering up to 1TB of storage.

Both models are available for pre-orders today from 2 p.m., then delivered and available in stores on Friday September 24. Follow our complete guide tobuy it at the best price, while avoiding out of stock.

How to get your iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro?

Since 2 p.m. today, it has been possible to buy your iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro from various partner merchants. Delivery times will vary depending on the merchant. This will also be the case for the finishes and storage capacities available. So keep an eye on the delivery time announced depending on the model to see if certain adjustments need to be made in terms of finish and storage capacity in order to guarantee receipt of the machine as soon as possible.

In addition, by placing your iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro order with a third-party reseller such as Amazon, Fnac, Darty or Boulanger, you avoid the main channel which is used by the majority of buyers, Apple's online site. And this can be of great importance regarding delivery times, generally better elsewhere than on the Apple Store, while you will benefit from the same guarantee as if you had made the purchase directly from the Californian.

Some tips to make the pre-order go as smoothly as possible

As with every new iPhone, to be certain of receiving your model on the day of release or in the days following, you must be among the first to validate your order. And sometimes, it can be a matter of seconds. It is therefore better to have everything prepared in advance.

Here are some points to anticipate:

1 – Choose your machine wisely: no question of thinking too much when putting the iPhone 13 or the iPhone 13 Pro in the basket! You need to know a few hours in advance which model you want to buy. It may be interesting to designate a second or even a third choice in advance if the first choice is already no longer available.

2 – Check your credit card limit: it's no longer a secret, iPhones are expensive, more than 900 euros for the 13 model and 1100 euros for the 13 Pro model. It is therefore better to take precautions and check that the limit of your credit card allows such a expenditure in one go, but also if you still have margin compared to purchases made in the last 30 rolling days.

3 – Log in and check your payment settings in advance: in order to be as efficient as possible when ordering, there is no question of having to enter the numbers of your credit card by hand or enter your delivery address, especially as this can be done well in advance on most merchant sites. So, you might as well take the lead and check that your Amazon, Darty or even FNAC or Boulanger account has all the information necessary for the order.

What if nothing goes as planned?

If you waited too long during the ordering process, check the delivery times announced for the model added to the cart. So be prepared to possibly change the finish or storage capacity. And always check other shopping sites.

Finally, if you haven't managed to get any model in time, you still have the option of going to the Apple Storeon launch day September 24. But again, you will probably also have to be among the first to avoid running out of stock!
